hiske Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I have macbook air version Catalina and purchased Alfred 4 I cannot change the given hot key to open Alfred which is option space How can I fix this Edited December 20, 2019 by hiske Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 @hiske what hotkey are you trying to set, and how are you trying to set it? You should be able to click in the hotkey field, then press the combination you'd like to use. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
hiske Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I would like to use the command & space keys for that and freed up spotlight from those . but I cannot enter anything in the hotkey field. Edited December 20, 2019 by hiske Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 @hiske when you select Alfred's default hotkey field, do you get the blue focus border around it? If you have the blue border, what happens if you enter an obscure combo, for example, hold control+option+command then press a. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
hiske Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yes I have a blue border. When I enter control+option+command and "a" that then gets into the box . but still, if I press command+space that does not show Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 @hiske if a combo cannot be entered, that is because macOS is pre-reserving this combination, and Alfred isn't even aware you are trying to enter it. Perhaps take a look at the 3 things on this page: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/cmd-space/ (Spotlight, language switching and Siri). Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
hiske Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 All managed. It was the Siri shortcut that caused the problem. Thanks for your help ! Link to comment
